I'm a woman and although I never vote in these things, I do support Jim.
Simple reason is that he's shown himself to be wiser, more intelligent and generally wittier and funnier, not to mention 10 times more entertaining, than any of the pathetically desperate young wannabes this series.

But I didn't like Linda and the way she keep going on and on and carrying on the bad language longer than she needed too, having the last word etc. It looked really really bad.
Why?????
Because he's been a good entertaining hm
I never liked him much as a comedian in the past, but I like the Jim in here!
Also I'm a woman of a certain age and we of my era have known lots of men like Jim, they are not chauvinists they need women too much!!
And I think his dry comments in the house are very funny
Jim for the winner !!!
Great housemate
And please don't say odd comments about why 'women'' vote for or want certain housemates.( particularly a male hm).. That smacks of a sexist remark
I'm not interested in what happened 25 years ago or people coming over all hot and flustered over Davidson being non-PC.
I find him the most interesting HM by far in this series, and one of the all-time CBB greats. He may be playing a game, he may have genuinely reinvented himself - which ever it is is intriguing.
I am not sure (and trust me I am no fan of ANYONE who commits any form of domestic abuse), but it appears others are far more certain in their views on this than I.
I appreciate it's different, but I'll raise it again- Sam Faires physically struck her partner, apparently more than once, yet get's almost no criticism for it. All the 'oh but it's a girl, so it's different or 'it was ONLY a slap/punch/whatever' just don't cut it for me I'm afraid.
Has Jim got a recent history of violence? Is he genuinely contrite? Was this a one off or has he got a history of violence with all his partners throughout his life? (ps these questions aren't rhetorical, I really don't know enough about the instances or indeed his views on it for me to be able to make an educated decision, so if someone can enlighten me that would be appreciated).
I'm a woman and will vote for Jim. I don't think he's sexist and I don't think he dislikes women at all. He's just of the old school - he thinks men should be men and women should be women.
On the other hand, Luisa thinks that being a "strong" woman means screaming like a banshee, swearing like a trooper and speaking her mind to the extent where she upsets everyone. Her treatment of Ollie in the bedroom wasn't strong, it was unkind.
Jim is funny and I think he's really quite softhearted on the quiet. Yes, he's made a lot of mistakes in the past and can be a grumpy old sod but if we wait around to vote for the perfect person we'll all be waiting a very long time ...

he hasn't done any of the above on CBB - and past is past, it's been written about on umpteen threads, of which you have contributed to.

I dunno. Just guessing aloud...

Because Women like Men have minds of their own, one of the things the two sexes do have in common.
Why couldn't I have said that
Plus I don't find him to be sexist.
Well said...and Jim has tried very hard to turn his life around...lets give him a break
Yes, I know my place......about 10 places higher than my husband LOL!
Titter....:D
But I didn't like Linda and the way she keep going on and on and carrying on the bad language longer than she needed too, having the last word etc. It looked really really bad.

Luisa?

Titter ye not (as Frankie Howard would say) tis true. He knows his place in the pecking order God love him LOL!
God love 'im, and 'eaven 'elp 'im, the same as my husband
Linda has been bitter - about what - we still don't really know
Luisa say strong women and is not sexist but constantly shows that this is not true
Sam and Ollie have been followers
Lee and Casey have their own agenda although Casey did se supportive at first she soon became a follower
Dappy - he saw the good points I both and was probably the fairest
Liz - least said
those before not worth talking about
When our hamster died, he moved up a notch on the old 'how important am I scale' LOL!
Wouldn't change him for the world, but he knows his place in this household ;-):D

Without Jim in the mix this year, I would not have watched this series
